5330 2007-12-25 21:09:22 +0000 http request header does not specify "application/xhtml+xml" in Accept 2007-12-25 23:32:59 +0000 1 1 1 Unclassified Validator Website HEAD Macintosh All RESOLVED DUPLICATE 785 http://www.breauxbridge.net P2 normal --- 1 michaellunsford dave.null www-validator-cvs oldest_to_newest 18147 0 michaellunsford 2007-12-25 21:09:22 +0000 the online validator warns: Conflict between Mime Type and Document Type The document is being served with the text/html Mime Type which is not a registered media type for the XHTML 1.1 Document Type. The recommended media type for this document is: application/xhtml+xml However, the validator fails to inform the server that it supports application/xhtml+xml as part of the request header. So, the server issues the text/html header instead. 18148 1 ot 2007-12-25 23:32:59 +0000 please look at Bug 785. Basically: * a user agent like the validator does not need to send an accept header * with the current spec, it's wrong to send xhtml1.1 as text/html (why not use xhtml 1.0?) * you should fix your accept hack to server application/xhtml+xml by default, and send text/html only to agents that send an accept not containing this media type * if for testing purposes you need the validator to send accept headers, see http://validator.w3.org/docs/users.html#option-accept *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 785 ***
